We saw men placing thin, light strips
of metal under the descending knives
of the machine by which they were cut
into small pieces. The only labor OF

Uon.an's Right to E0ua, Punishment.

Since women and children" arc reck-
oned together in so many legal cate
gories, q certain argument can be made
for treating them alike in cases of crime.
If women are so emotional and lacki1
in judgment that they must be classcd
with insane persons and idiots in the
matter Of voting, why may they not
claim the immunity OF half-witted per-
sons in the matter of punishment? If
they must not have equal wages for
equal work why should equal payment
in the wages Of sin, which is death, be-
SO vigorously insisted upon in their
case? Many years ago the famous
Frenchman, Michelet, called attention
to the inconsistency Of French law.
which regards women as minors in all
matters of legal rights but treats them
as persons of full age in all matters of
punishment. The conclusion he drew
was that women should be regarded as
minors in all cases and that the extreme
penalty of the law should never be in
ficted upon them. Iwould rather have

Some Mise lIOllIc1l,

A poor clergyman died and left q
widow and two daughters. One of the
daughters was an invalid, and the other
became the mainstay of the little
family. Like too many girls, she had
received general but superficial edu-
cation, which did not qualify her to
teach anything. She had no taste or
skill as q milliner or dressmaker.
What could she do? Accidentally she
heard number of housekeepers re-
GREETING the impossibility of having
hot, fresh cakes for Sundays break
fast. She had recipe for making En-
glish mullins, which, ii baked on
Saturday, can be heated the next morn
ing.
She called on her friends and took
orders for these mullins The cakes
we're delicious and promptly served.
Her customers increased. She has now
large establishment and comfort

Another woman, in the same position,
"took stock Of herself" to ascertain
what she could do.
II know" she said, "that It is the
thing which we can do better than any
one else, however trivial it may be,
which commands success. I had but
one little craft; could dress hair and
understood it's management. 1 set out
upon tour through the inland towns
and villages OF the Middle States, adj
vertising that Mrs. P. would teach
ladies to dress their hair beconingly
and to care for it on scientific princi-
pies.
"In these small towns coifffures are
unknown. l was the first to enter a

The picturesque is always a feature
of woman's description of anything.
She talks grandiloqucntly Of colors, and
if you hear her describe tablecloti,
you fancy it's gorgeous thing of tap
estry OF some equally effective picture.
"My wife" says the husband to the
man in the store, "has sent me for
something she looked at Yesterday"
"Yes"
"This is the description of it, " and he
pulls out q piece of paper which has in
it full description of an elaborate pat
tern Of myriads of co'ors, and all in
nomenclature that sounds like some
elaborate picture. "You'll excuse me,
I can't remember the blamed thing"
"That's all right. i know what she
means"
You'll please wrap it up very care
fully, for if it gets spoiled before it gets
there she'll be mad"
Certainly"
Then the man goes to shelf and
pulls out roughly q piece Of something.
"Hold on" says the husband, "that
can't be the thing. That's chintz, OF
damask or something, amt it,"
"That's the article, sir"

QUEEN yICrOxI..,s n.an1yx.

In her ordinary life the Queen is done
breakfast before 8 o'clock. She rides
or walks every day in fine weather, and
reads, writes, or draws after luncheon.
Her greatest happiness is derived from
association with members of her own
family. Affairs of state are discussed
with the Minister in attendance between
breakfast and luncheon, and when any,
thing of serious import is on the table
the pleasures Of exercise are neutralized
by anxiety. Queen Victoria always
pays considerable attention to the sani-
tary condition Of the palace in which
she resides for the time being. Her
relish for outdoor exercise nnablcs her
to appreciate pure air, and to see that
her living and sleeping apartments are
properly ventilated. For some time
after the death of the Prince Consort
the intensity of her grief told very
severely on her physical condition. The
first evidence of this came in the shape
OF an attack Of neuralgia It ONLY re-
quired very short walk to produce g
strong sense of fatigue and headache.
She suffered very much form sleepless-
ness, and was constantly under the care
OF physician. Now that she is ap-
preaching the tiftieth year of her reign.
after twenty-seven years of retirement
the Queen has begun once more to take
interest in worldly things Herald of

Henry Ward Beecher amused Mr..
Lincoln by telling him the following
story about an old-school orthodox
divine, who, while attending to his
usual Sabbath ministrations, managed
to discover who OF his congregation
were absent, lis first duty on Monday
morning being to call on the :!,sentccs,
and to find out why they were not at
church. Among those whose places
were often vacant was one man who
cared little for the sanctity of the holy
day or the reproof of the minister. On
taking his usual Monday morning
rounds DR.. P was sure to visit NIr.
C., as we will call him. Said the
good man, "Why were you not at
church yesterday"
Glad other business to attend to, {"
was the blunt reply.
"NIr. c." said the clergyman SOL
emily, "there will be no preaching in
hell"

GETTING DEsPERATE.-It seems
that nothing can be done to promote
harmony in the democratic party oil
the county, and both factions are
determined to fight it out on this line
if it "takes all summer" The Rec
ord has intimated for some time past
that negotiations were being made
with the commissioner board to get
judges appointed who would elect
the ticket, votes or no votes. To-
day it says: The attempt to obtain
Judges of election to cheat the tick
ct through is now and will DC,
lamentable failure" In this state
of affairs, without either votes or
Judges, its chances of election
are very slim. Men say ooh you
ought not to admit such a thing"
but we think it puerile to see dan
ger ahead and because it is unpeals-
anti give no warning. Drown
ing men catch at straws, and while
hope of election is held out, men
either Iured by selfish ambition, or
desire for the "loaves and fishes"
will hang on to the last chance
The position of the Democratic
party in the county is not unlike
the two shipwrecked sailors on a
raft who were trying to make shore,
and by heavy wind were being
driven further and further off. One
of them seeing this said to his COM
panion Dill. things is gittin

religious and that pretty quick, for

piled, "Well, j. Ohm, you do something
religious. Il don't know nothin"
said John; "you do it Bill. Bill
rdcked his brain to think of some
thing religious and a happy idea
striking him, Immediately took off
his hat and proceeded to take up a
collection. To our democratic
friends we commend this example,
and suggest that their raft is getting
blown so far off shore, that they had
better do something religious, and
that very quick.
